The game is full of amusing references to everything from popular culture, classic movies, internet memes and gamer culture. It therefore shouldn&rsquo;t come as too much of a surprise that they&rsquo;ve carried over that tongue-in-cheek manner and have adopted one of the biggest games of 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Magicka: Vietnam &#8211; prepare to take the magical mayhem to the jungles. Not much more information is known at this point and Paradox apparently doesn&rsquo;t have Magicka: Vietnam on display at GDC, but we can expect more info to emerge shortly. Watch the trailer below for a taste. If you look closely you may notice some interesting gameplay elements, such as a staff that fires like a machine gun. The song is pretty catchy too.<\/p>\n<p>\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"340\" height=\"220\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/cs2DsoiA54Y?version=3\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"340\" height=\"220\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/cs2DsoiA54Y?version=3\"><\/embed><\/object>\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/10909-Magicka-review-(MyGaming)\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Discuss Magicka\"><strong>Discuss Magicka<\/strong><\/a> on the MyGaming forum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Articles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/reviews\/9919-Magicka.html\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Magicka review\">Magicka review<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/images\/9703-Magicka-screenshots.html\" target=\"_self\" title=\" Magicka screenshots\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/images\/9703-Magicka-screenshots.html\" target=\"_self\" title=\" Magicka screenshots\">Magicka screenshots<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/10273-Magicka-heads-retail-pricing-confirmed.html\" target=\"_self\" title=\" Magicka heads to SA retail, pricing confirmed\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/10273-Magicka-heads-retail-pricing-confirmed.html\" target=\"_self\" title=\" Magicka heads to SA retail, pricing confirmed\">Magicka heads to SA retail, pricing confirmed<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/10337-Magicka-free-bugged-and-patched-DLC-now-available.html\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Magicka: free &lsquo;bugged and patched&rsquo; DLC now available\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/10337-Magicka-free-bugged-and-patched-DLC-now-available.html\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Magicka: free &lsquo;bugged and patched&rsquo; DLC now available\">Magicka: free &lsquo;bugged and patched&rsquo; DLC now available<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/10237-Interview-Magicka-developer-Patrik-Lasota.html\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Interview: Magicka developer Patrik Lasota\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/10237-Interview-Magicka-developer-Patrik-Lasota.html\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Interview: Magicka developer Patrik Lasota\">Interview: Magicka developer Patrik Lasota<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first Magicka DLC expansion, Vietnam, warrants making up a new word<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":157,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10425","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/157"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10425"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10425\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
